The CPA is located beyond the current development staging plan, in the 2015 to 2020 stage. However, the 2030 Development Framework identifies Ramsey as a "Developing Area" community and the regional systems serving Ramsey have adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development. On August 3, 2005, the Council staff met with the City staff to discuss sewer flows and growth forecasts. The post-CPA households increased from 10,300 to 10,830 by 2010, and from 15,500 to 16,117 by 2020. Also, sewer flows increased to 2.34 million gallons per day (mgd) by 2010, and 3.23 mgd by 2020. Council staff provided a letter (attached) to the City outlining the regional wastewater service for the City of Ramsey. Conformity with Regional Systems The amendments conform to the adopted Regional Systems' Policy Plans for Aviation, Recreation Open Space, Transportation and Wastewater (Water Resources Management). Consistency with Council Policy The amendments are consistent with the Council's 2030 Regional Development Framework policies. The City's updated development staging plan meets the Council's 2030 Framework policies for Developing Area communities. The City's net community-wide residential densities meet the Council's MUSA Expansion requirements and policy of 3 to 5 units per net developable acre, as shown in the analysis below. The amendment meets the Council's Guidelines for Evaluating MUSA Expansion requests. Ramsey currently participates in the Council's plat monitoring program. The City's overall residential density for development since 2000 is 3.7 units per net developable acre, greater than the required three units per net developable acre. The City provided the MUSA Expansion table (below) showing that the remaining land guided for residential uses to 2020 would be developed at a net density of 3.6 units per net developable acre. 2 R:\Council\Council_ Meetings\2005\082405\0824 _ 2005 _261 consent.doc
